high school meme

[flea]

1. Who was your best friend?:
Karin, Beth. Neither of whom I have had contact with in more than 10 years.

2.What sports did you play?:
Sports were mandatory. Fall: recreational soccer (I stopped a fistfight!); winter: self-paced swimming; spring: musical (My Fair Lady).

3. What kind of car did you drive?:
Did not drive. My mother had tried to teach me; um, no.

4. It's Friday night, where were you?
Aimlessly about campus: the SAC (Student Activity Center), stupid dance at the Upper Campus gym.

5. Were you a party animal?:
No. I don't think I'd ever had a drink in high school.

6. Were you considered a flirt?:
No. I was considered a dork.

7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
I think I was briefly in a chamber choir senior year. I don't know why I would have quit, but I definitely wasn't in very long.

8. Were you a nerd?:
Indeed.

9. Did you get suspended/expelled?:
No. I had a detention once for skipping class to go on a college visit.

10. Can you sing the fight song?
We didn't have a fight song. They reinstituted the alma mater my senior year: "To our school upon the hillside, come and sing a rousing song..."

11. Who was your favorite teacher?:
Hmm. I knew a lot of them socially, of course. I guess Ian Morris. I took Marine Biology from him (and babysat his kids) and I thought he was hot.

12.What was your school's full name?:
Chaote Rosemary Hall.

13. School mascot?:
Judges. Yep.

14. Did you go to Prom?:
It was called The Last Hurrah, and only seniors at our school could go. I went. Pretty much we all did.

15. If you could go back and do it over, would you?:
I'd be interested to go and spend a day looking around, to see what I think of everyone/everything now. I wouldn't want to be me then again, though.

16. What do you remember most about graduation?:
The blistering sunburn I got on my chest sitting in the front row.

17. Where were you on senior skip day?:
I don't think we had this.

18. Did you have a job your senior year?:
I delivered the Meriden-Wallingford Record-Journal.

19. Where did you go most often for lunch?:
The main dining hall.

20. Have you gained weight since then?:
My normal adult weight is 10 pounds below my high school senior weight. I think mostly due to loss of muscle mass (see above re: required sports).

21. What did you do after graduation?:
Lay about limply recovering from sunburn; sent the summer limply at my father's house; went to college.

22. When did you graduate?:
1990

23. Who was your Senior prom date?:
None. Very few people dated at my high school. Certainly not me!

24. Are you going to your 10 year reunion?:
Haven't been to one yet, though I have been back to campus. My mother lived there until 1997, and we were there staying with friends when we were planning our move to CT in 2000.

25. Who was your home room teacher?:
We did not have this.
